Among the runners will be 20 MPs and peers, the most in the event’s history, including Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
More than 50,000 people will run through the capital on what is due to be a dry and bright day with temperatures up to 12C.
This year’s race will be the first time that wheelchair and non-disabled athletes have received the same prize money for a marathon. Event director Hugh Brasher said the event will be “more inclusive than before” with support for more than 200 disabled participants as well as a faith space and a quiet space for neurodivergent participants in the finish area.
Famous faces will include comedian and TV presenter Romesh Ranganathan.
